I know you are all experienced travellers and I hope that business has been so good you will be able to enjoy a few days of well-earned rest and relaxation on holiday. But with the holiday season now upon us we can all do with a bit more cash in our bank account so I thought I would just write a timely reminder about two things we often overlook: exchanging foreign currency and recovering VAT paid in Europe – there’s still just time before the end of September! Anyone purchasing travel money should shop around and compare foreign currency rates. But remember, the majority of online comparison sites often have a commercial relationship with the exchange providers. “When is the best time to buy currency?" The simple answer is that there’s no way of knowing but an unplanned purchase will inevitably cost you dear so my quick checklist is below. Yes I know you know – but how often do you actually follow the advice yourself – so tick them off below and if you cant tick them off – you should tick yourself off because its a hidden cost you could avoid by taking the right action? 1. Shop online to get the best deal. Often provided with guarantees of the best price or the difference refunded. 2. Take a mix of cash and a prepaid travel money card. Foreign currency cards enable you to lock in your exchange rate at the time of loading and are separate from your bank account, which protects against theft or fraud. 3. Be aware of hidden credit or debit card charges on overseas usage – not just when drawing cash but also when buying goods or services and that cash withdrawal interest rates are particularly high. 4. Avoid exchanging currency in your hotel or at the airport departure lounge - if you do leave it to the last minute or after your arrival, look for a reputable bureau to change your money. 5. Don’t lose out on exchanging leftover currency. Many organisations will lock in rates for your residual currency at the same rate you purchased it, commission free. 6. If you only have large notes, try to break one when you arrive and before you get into the taxi from the airport, so you have smaller notes and coins on hand for incidentals tipping or taxis, who will not accept large denominations – or if they do will not have change! 7. Some countries restrict the amount of currency in or out of the country, while others don’t permit you to take any at all. Check before departure.

SMMT has also teamed up with VATit who provide an excellent VAT recovery service – so you can be away sipping pina coladas whilst they are recovering paid VAT on your behalf!

SMMT is offering our members a service that will help you recover VAT you have already paid with zero risk. Your business can submit claims up until 28 September 2012 to reclaim VAT expenses incurred abroad during 2011 (1 January – 31 December 2011).

I recently had an opportunity to speak with Crispin Simon, Managing Director of UKTI Trade Development and I was very encouraged to hear of his further plans for SME exporters – more on this in the next IB issue. I will also shortly be meeting with UKTI Advanced Engineering Automotive Sector colleagues to share our thinking on how best to jointly focus our UKTI / SMMT combined resources to ensure the “sum of the parts” is brought together coherently to the advantage of UK’s SME auto sector exporters. Notwithstanding the excellent recent announcements regarding UK auto sector manufacturing in the UK, the period of low general economic growth in the UK and traditional European markets is likely to continue for a good while yet. Improvements in the general domestic market are unlikely to happen any time soon, according to The Governor of The Bank of England, so businesses really do need to seek out new markets outside the UK and probably outside Europe.
